Yup, just to clarrify I can create a route in a game (on the ARBIS on a FARP) and save it for a week later lets say when I get back in the 50?

Weta, from what I can gather, NVIDIA have drivers that support most. NVIDIA renders a scene I imagine with a little offset to the left for the left eye and a little offset to the right for the right eye. Since the 3D card is doing the rendering, I assume the driver just informs the card to do this little shift every alternate frame. No one has said if they use them yet though, I guess they are rarer than I thought. You plan on getting some Weta? Fancy doing a review?

"Wocka Wocka Wocka" ???? That my friend is the sound a Chinook makes. Do you mean "Chippa Chippa Chippa"?

As shown in the excellant new vids, the pilot of the KA50 will be allowed to create their own routes for navigation etc. However this is no simple click on the map "Go To" option, and you have to enter the coordinates manually (as it should be, this is good). However thinking ahead to the multiplayer situation. I will spend 5-10 minutes programming an excellent route, avoiding the SAM ranges (shown on the map). The problem will be that as soon as I take off, I will be swamped with 10 fighters from the other team (as is the norm in multiplayer rooms, lots and lots of fighters attacking the defenseless few ground pounders). This is likely to result in a lost KA-50. My question is, will there be an option to SAVE the route to the nav computer for use in future flights? I saw a record and save option in its menu, but are these available to load in new flights. For example, can I save a route to the Nav computer, then turn off my PC, open up lockon, get in a KA50 and load the route I had previously saved. Something like the Route Load in a Boeing FMC/CDU.

Good question, I came in the thread to ask the same thing. Just to restate, the checklist inclued tests to see if th elamps worked, he timed the engine on startup to make sure it worked. This is obviously important in real life, as things can and do fail. However in the sim world, I have not yet had a single failure (during startup or other wise). With the BS, will there be a percentage chance of a system failing (not including damage)? (Yes, I know it will be a pain to do the checklist and find out the ECM and programmable counter measures fail.. but at least it will be more "Sim like"). Not sure how it would be handled in multiplayer etc... call in a techy? And to reply to the other question, there have been a few links recently stating out right that a demo will NOT be released until after the final version has been.

I may have a look. But has anyone on this site tried the shutters with Lockon?

What a very poorly designed cockpit, in my opinion... And before you all start shouting at me, I mean the real thing, not the implementation :) Might just be me, be I thought the Russian designers might have put a little more thought into the cockpit, for example the light switches... they were hidden around everywhere, I expected them to the clustered in a "lights section", like they are on Boeings etc, not slapped around randomly on different panels. But I guess Russian pits arn't know for their pilot friendly status. There were a few other switches plastered around which I thought.. hmm that is very very close to the unrelated and dangerous switch to the side of of, could be nasty hitting that in a combat situation. Still very very good implementation by ED... only problem is, I want it more... Good work.

Why would they change the resolution of my monitor? From what I gathered these are glasses that you wear while watching your monitor. The glasses have shutters that alternate (very very quickly) between allowing just your left eye to view and then just your right eye. Meanwhile your monitor flicks in synchrous with the glasses to showing a left eye picture and a right eye picture. Thereofore I am still looking at my own monitor (running 1280x1024) just with some special specs on. And the result (due to fooling the brain with two pictures) is a 3D representation. I have found some of these specs for about £40, wondered if the effect is really any good (I know that ghosting and sunglass dimming of the monitor may occur) https://edimensional.com/product_info.php?cPath=21&products_id=29&osCsid=c64d4b4d1e57e16ca296b9a78e34994e These also have an advantage over the full head on displays with LCD screens 1 inch from your eyes (apart from eye strain) but also that you can still see things through them, i.e. your keyboard, so you can still control things while having the glasses on (unlike the VR visors).

My eyes must be wired up wrong as well then, since lookign at the images on the website cross eyed and they looked ok to me. Just seeing those images has made me look into the 3D glasses option. You can get the shutter glasses for about $40. Has anyone used them at all? Are they as good as they are made out to be and will the effect seen in those screenshots on that link (when looking cross eyed) be like what occurs with shutter specs?

Wow. Firstly I have just given myself a head ache by forcing myself to go "Bozz eyed" and feel a little dizzy, but the effect (especially in the cockpit) of those pictures looks great. Just a shame the current 3D viewing hardware isnt that good. (heard motion sickness and headaches will prevail after just a little use)

Where does the pilot sit in the P700?

If they could attach something like Frontier Elite 2's trading/mission/courier/passenger business model into this engine, they have a sure hit.

A satellite based in Soul by the angles of those shots maybe.

One of my dreams sn to get a BMP and drive around off road in it, upsetting the farmers etc, a dealer near my is selling a tired old saracen armoured car, but it isnt wuite the same... Nice vid. Also look at 1:34 into the video. Those crazy ruskies... what do they expect to hit when they fire the main cannon while doing a "dukes of hazzard" style jump, surely cant be that accurate while flying...

Is it an nForce based motherboard? Try updating those drivers. Then see what other drivers you can update. Couldn't you have spent the money better and built yourself a PC ( not that you want to hear that at the moment).

They have been down for a few hours now...

Doesnt mention 939 does it. I know they are stopping production on 939 soon, so I would imagine that the feature will not be on 939, unfortunatly.

He was using the CTU mainframe, and extracting resources from the CIA servers as well, Cloe setup some pipes that allowed him to do it using a mobile phone apparently. Although Audrey kept nagging him about "quality time". Anyway, back to the real world, Maulkin do you know who Jack Bauer is? This sounds like a great feature, nothing I dislike more than being in a multiplayer mode, going SEAD in the frog, then having to exit and restart when all threats have gone so I can attack the ground units. Edit: Will this feature be expanded for other aircraft? i.e. the standard fleet landing at an airbae, can they change loadout?

Thanks for that, I wasn't aware of the "Free local Control" view. Learn something everyday. Cheers, keep up the good work.

Nice presentation, on a slightly related note, what do you use for camera control? Various shots you make, i.e. rocket release and bomb release, the camera starts from the mig and follows the weapons, what do you do to control the camera? Is this built into lockon, or are you just highly skilled with the "chase" cam?

The track Ir has an amazing three legged prong that can be transformed/morphed/altered to fit most monitors. It is in itself an amazing piece of (over looked) design. It fits great on my flat screen monitor, and would easily fit on the laptop monitor, since the legs "pincer" together to grip.

??? The guys have just said, either up or down, no middle. As for the overspeed protection, not sure, try it, but I think they just get damaged.

Because the camera that was fitted in the bomb bay of the camberra (I have stood under neath the canberra with its bays open, its big), wouldn't fit under the wing of a typhoon. I assume some new camera system will be used, and/or the reccy tornadoes will do the job.

They did, the typhoons were in 2 of the "Wings". A few aircraft missing though I thought, the Hercules (but I know the C-130 fleet is a little stretched at the moment, but they could have made the effort), and one I was hoping to see, the harrier was also an obvious absentee (unless I missed it). I was hoping/thought the RAF were going to show all the aircraft, not a bad show though. No choppers or training craft though. As most years, I did sit down all morning to watch the parade... I bet the Navy feels a little left out :)

I must be the odd one out. I am not a pilot, and I have no real idea of how the aircraft modelled in the game compares with the real thing. Obviously you guys do, so I feel left out. I just play the game for what it is, I know things ar enot like this is real life. Real life isn't fair and the odds are not always stacked in your favour. However, I don;t complain, I just get on and deal with what I have against what life throws at me. I do the same in lockon, guys stop moaning, a) I saracastaclly pointed out earlier, you don't "really" know how these things work, b) a 100% realsitic model is not possible at the moment c) Deal with these little short comings, be happy with what you have, neither sides are perfect. I know we always want better and better, but there comes a point when too much is too much, please just give it a rest. (sat down waiting for some of you to come back and attack, even though I didnt mean to attack/upset any of you)
